Spacious, so close to beach, washer dryer parking

BryanRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Nigel’s Airbnb in Honolulu! This place is a gem – spotlessly clean, modern, and equipped with everything we needed for a perfect beach vacation. The location is unbeatable, just steps from the beach, making it so easy to pop back and forth for sun-soaked days by the ocean. The in-unit washer and dryer were a game-changer, keeping our beach gear fresh and ready. We also loved the thoughtful touch of beach essentials in the closet – chairs, umbrellas, and towels – which made our outings hassle-free. Nigel was an exceptional host, responsive, and genuinely cared about our comfort. This place felt like a home away from home, and we’re already looking forward to coming back! Highly recommend!

Hale Honu- Paradise at Turtle Bay

MikeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
First time visiting the Island with our family from the UK. We had originally planned to stop on Waikīkī but after son-In law had a look around He found this Gem of a place. Which was perfect for him as an avid surfer to see the world famous beaches! We were so glad that we changed our plans and stopped on the North Shore instead! Amazing beaches. Great local food/Food Trucks. The apartment itself is great and a nice private complex! Hosts wonderful from start to Finish! A long trip from the UK but 100% worth it to experience the history/cultures and everything the Island has to offer! Will be booking to come back next year once we get home to the UK that's for sure!

Financial District 1BR-Fully Renovated w/Parking

AlexRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
5-Stars. This place was incredibly clean, well-maintained, and great communication from the host. Really well laid out instructions on getting in and out and no ridiculous cleaning rules before check-out (one of my biggest pet peeves, so kudos!). With what I am about to say please understand I DO recommend this place but there are a couple of things I wish I was better prepared for: Parking is at the top floor which wasn't my favorite to get in and out of (but parking is FREE) - so we ended up doing a lot of walking around the area so we didn't have to take the car out. The beach towels are also your pool towels so be prepared for laundry (not a big deal they have washer on site but you will do laundry). The bedroom/bathroom doors are frosted glass so light from your room will be quite visible in the pull-out bed room so with a 2yo it meant lights out at his bedtime (not a huge deal). I still highly recommend this place, probably the best value short-term rental in Waikiki

Cottage Nene by AvantStay | Mountain View + Garden

AlissiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had an amazing stay! We were a family of 7 visiting and from the minute we walked in it felt like home! Everything you could possibly need was available and overall super inviting. The host was friendly and responded quickly. If I HAD anything “negative” to say I’d say the advertised pictures don’t capture exactly how beautiful the view is from almost every single window in the home! Thank you so much for hosting us we would love to return again sometime!

Your guide to Lanikai

All About Lanikai

The eastern windward shores of Oahu are home to some of the most stunning white-sand beaches and clear tropical waters on the Hawaiian Islands. Among these, Lanikai Beach is a secluded stretch of beach adorned with shady palms and aquamarine waters that provide a picturesque backdrop to the swimmers, kayakers, and kite surfers that dot the landscape.

Facing the sea, you will be greeted with an expansive vista, with the Mokulua Islands springing up from the waters. Turning inland, the towering Ko’olau Range dominates the scenery with its jagged peaks and dense tropical vegetation. The metropolitan area of Honolulu, with all of its big-city cultural offerings, lies about 30 minutes away.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lanikai

The Hawaiian Islands’ tropical climate maintains pristine weather conditions for most of the year, so there’s no bad time to stay in a Lanikai vacation rental. Brilliant sunny days, deep blue skies, and trade wind breezes drifting through palm canopies characterize the average weather of Oahu. Minor seasonal variations do exist between the summer and winter months, however. The winters, for example, tend to bring heavier rains and slightly cooler temperatures, while the summers are the hottest and driest times of the year.

The Hawaiian islands’ unique ecologies feature a surprising array of microclimates and locality-based variations in weather. Some regions will experience regular heavy rainfall, while a community just a few miles away could be experiencing dryness.


Top things to do in Lanikai

Mokulua Islands

Lying just about a mile offshore of Lanikai Beach, the Mokulua Islands are a protected seabird sanctuary. Kayaking and paddleboarding are the most common ways to reach the pair of islands, and on calm days the trip is relatively quick and easy. Sea turtles and crabs frequent the surrounding waters, along with migratory birds and whales in the winter. Once you’ve arrived, you can hike the islands or find a secluded beach for swimming and lounging.

Pillbox Hike

This moderate two-mile out-and-back hiking trail begins just up the road from the Lanikai Beach parking area and traces the Kaiwa Ridgeline. The path culminates at a lookout over the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, with the two Mokulua Islands in the foreground. Sitting atop the hill’s apex is a World War II-era pillbox overlooking the tropical landscape below. If you’re an early riser, this is an especially great hike to do at sunrise.

Downtown Kailua

Kailua is a seaside town on Kailua Bay, a short five-minute drive from Lanikai Beach. It has a vibrant downtown area running along the coast, with trendy cafes, creative eateries, and cozy bookstores, making this small town a wonderful spot for afternoon explorations before dipping in the ocean.
